Eliminate costly re-roofing, and premature tear-offs.
Complete roof replacement is expensive and isn’t always the
best solution. In many cases roof restoration is the answer.
Restoration requires less labor and materials, so it’s significantly
less expensive. It also allows you to reuse your existing roof, so
it’s more environmentally friendly because tons of roofing waste
doesn’t wind up in landfills. And, with the technological
advances of our products they may extend your roof’s life a full
10-20 years.
Tropical Roofing Products offers fluid-applied roof restoration
systems each designed for specific applications, conditions
and substrates. Our roof restoration systems feature a cold fluid
applied coating creating a seamless, chemically-resistant barrier

Roof Maintenance Systems are Fully Tax-Deductible
As a maintenance item, restoration allows you to immediately
expense your costs, as opposed to re-roofing, which, as a capi-
tal expense, must be depreciated over the anticipated 39-year
working life of the roof established by the IRS. In addition to the
financial savings, roof restoration is typically faster, cleaner, and
less labor intensive than roof replacement, making it less disrup-
tive to the buildings, properties, and people.

A Cool Roof Solution:
THE BUILDING UPGRADE WITH A TRIPLE BENEFIT
*Source RCMA/Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association
What is a Cool Roof System?
A Cool Roof is one that reflects the sun’s heat and emits
absorbed UV rays back into the atmosphere. The roof stays
cooler and reduces the amount of heat transferred to the
building below.
According to the RCMA’s Solar Reflective Coatings Council,
white roof coatings provide three key attributes to a build-
ing when installed: assistance in shedding water and keeping
interiors dry; reduction of cooling costs for buildings with air-
conditioning units as well as a reduction of interior temperatures
in buildings with no cooling units; and the ability to protect and
prolong the roof system’s life cycle by reducing the stress of
thermal shock associated with large changes in temperature.
Because the reflective roof coating cools and protects the roof surface, it:*
• Reduces the temperature inside the building by 6-9° F.
• Reduces the roof surface temperature by up to 50%
• Increases the effective “R” value of insulation

A Cool Roof Solution:
THE BUILDING UPGRADE WITH A TRIPLE BENEFIT
• Saves on the cost of air conditioning the building
• Results in lower energy costs overall by reducing the “peak electrical demand” level
• Creates a more comfortable environment in areas where there is no air conditioning
• Slows premature aging of a roof due to high surface temperatures and UV degradation
• Results in reduced overall roof life-cycle costs
• Reduces respiratory health risks and the risk of heat-related deaths, especially in a “Heat Island” area
Environmentally friendly because it:
• Reduces landfill materials – approximately 10% of landfill waste is made up of roofing materials
• Saves energy, both for the building owner, and for the utility supplier
• Results in a reduced carbon footprint of the building by reducing the CO2 emissions
• Minimizes the overall environmental burden
Cool Roof coatings provide a
simple, green, sustainable solution
that saves building owners and
facility managers money, eases
installation for contractors, and can
meet, satisfy, or contribute to Title
24, LEED*, and other Green Rating
system requirements.
